Hey just thought I would share some info on how to pressure test kegs without buying any additional equipment. I learned this trick from a soda distributor who has been selling used kegs.
Apparently the easiest way to pressure test a keg is to pup it up to 20psi so that it seals and flip the lid hatch so that the only thing keeping the lid on is the internal pressure inside the keg. Then you just simply let the keg sit for 3 days to a week. If the lid falls in on its own or if it falls in when you tap it lightly there is a small leak. At 20 psi you should have to press down on the lid with a fair amount of pressure to get it to cave in.
Simple and requires no additional equipment.
